210Pb in the surface water of the North Pacific was extensively determined. The results showed that the highest concentrations of 210Pb of 19 +/- 3 dpm/100 kg were found in the northern mid-latitudes around 30°N, but longitudinal variation across the North Pacific was not observed. The mean residence time of 210Pb in the surface water up to 100 m in depth is calculated to be 230 days. In the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere, 210Pb may be transported by the prevailing westerly wind of a higher speed than 15 m/sec, likely the jet stream.
